(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
We had a clever approach all weekend and the team was behind me pushing me all weekend. I think we can be proud of what we achieved. I think it was important to be consistent to the end. I had two spare wheels and I tried to go for it and it worked very well.

I don't know how the Power Stage will go, I will follow my feeling once I start the stage, we will see. I will try and keep it on the road and if I can I'll try and claim at least 1 or 2 points.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
It is just for safety, if I have a puncture I'll be safe with two tyres. On this stage I feel the rear is moving a lot, it is going to be difficult for the Power Stage.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I tried to stay on a good rhythm through the first few stages and then afterwards we'll see what we can do, but the most important thing for us is the Power Stage.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I knew I could make the difference again here. I had a nice clean run, it is a beautiful stage. There are some wet corners and I can see some people went wide, I just braked early and turned in tighter.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I didn't know with the tyres in the abrasive parts so I pushed a bit more, I lost a bit too much in the first stage when I wasn't pushing as hard. I knew the last 30% of the stage was humid and then all of a sudden there was standing water.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I don't know if harder tyres would have been better, I took it carefully under braking as it is quite rough.

12

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
We made some small changes before the stage and obviously it is quite slippy in this one so I decided to push hard. It seems like the time is good. It is going to be rough this afternoon.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
Everything is ok, I was a bit too careful on the tyres. It is quite abrasive and we need them for the next stage.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
That's enough. It was a good stage, I tried to be careful in places as it is quite slippy in parts. It was ok.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
We are really happy, we made some improvement in the car and I was able to push really hard. Finally the tyre choice, probably not the best, but it seems to have worked here. It is a good day for us with Ogier out, but obviously it is a shame for them.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
Today is not finished, we have to do this stage one more time. This day was tough and we managed to stay out of trouble - a risky tyre choice which was maybe not great but we made it work.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
I felt like I'd used all the tyre. I pushed very hard, the car was working nice, I went up with the ride-height and tried to save a bit of the car. I changed the diff mapping as well and I feel better in the car.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
Very rough I have to say, many, many surprises on this stage. I tried my best, I didn't think about what happened on the stage before and I tried to save a bit on the car.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
The weekend is still long, the conditions are much rougher than expected. I tried to take care of the car, we need to look at the next stages and see if we need to make any changes.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
It's really difficult to get the car turning, I struggle a little bit with this. It is difficult to go quicker than Ogier but I'm trying.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
This one was ok, but I tried to do my best. There is not much more I can do, I am struggling with the handling at points, on some corners I am also going in too fast and losing speed.

(5 - Neuville Thierry / Gilsoul Nicolas):
With the dust hanging in some sections I didn't take enough risks, but it is the first stage. I slowed down a few times because I didn't want to risk anything. In some sections you couldn't see the braking zones because of the dust.
